Free Knit Top Down Raglan Baby Pullover Pattern

I’m not sure if I’m just reading the pattern wrong or what, but I did not have 168 stitches on my needles at the end of the yoke, and I sure didn’t have 34 stitches for the arms. I think the pattern could be wrong, or I’m reading it wrong, or it’s just hard to understand.

• For the Knit Top Down Baby Raglan Pullover, it looks like you are making the smallest size. You begin with 64 stitches and use a make 1 increase, which is done between the stitches. Here is a video for a M1 increase in case you are not familiar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wxoi4Bs3ao It is important that you do not do a knit in the front and the back, or your stitch counts will not work out. Eight stitches are increased on round, 2 in each body section and two in each sleeve section. Doing the math, you should have 168 stitches (eight stitches x 13 repeats = 104 stitches; 104+64=168) The increases are worked a total of 13 times in each section. For the sleeves, you start with 8 stitches, do 13 increases of two stitches each leaving you with 34 stitches for the sleeves. The pattern is correct. We hope this clears up how the stitches are worked.

After making rows 2 and 3 12x more, the next row says to knit each round until it reaches 4 1\2 inches from the end of neck line (for smallest size) before splitting the sleeves. When "continuing to knit" do you continue with the increases or just knit?
